Abstract (en)

An optical fiber connecting method and apparatus in which optical communication is performed in a uni-core bidirectional system as optical crosstalk is prevented from occurring. To this end, an optical fiber connector 1 includes a refractive index matching member 2 and an optical fiber connecting unit 5. The refractive index matching member 2 has a refractive index substantially equivalent to that of the cores of optical fibers 101, 102. The optical fiber connecting unit 5 interconnects the optical fibers 101, 102 in a state in which end faces 101a, 102a of the optical fibers 101, 102 are contacted with a refractive index matching member 2 interposed between the end faces 101a, 102a of the optical fibers 101, 102. <IMAGE>
